Borderstan recently caught up with the press company preparing for the opening of both restaurants to find out some details on the two new ventures. Here’s what one can expect:

Kapnos

The food: For the menu, Isabella willÂ draw inspiration from Northern Greece to create a variety of spreads, breads, phyllo pies, vegetables and other small plates, including his signature wood-grilled octopus. Dinner will include whole roasted animals, such as lamb, goat, chicken and suckling pig.

The cooking: Isabella will have two woodfire grills with five rotating spits each and a small wood oven for flat breads. According to the press company, a chefâ€™s table will offer up to 10 guests the opportunity to pre-order a whole spit-roasted animal for the party

Other details: Kapnos will be open for dinner seven nights a week and weekend brunch. The restaurant will also have aÂ 45-seat outdoor patio.

G Sandwich ShopÂ

The food: The small-space sandwich shopÂ will serve traditional Italian sandwiches, soups and salads for lunch six days a week. According to the press company, chicken parmesan, veal cutlet, sausage with peppers and meatballs are some of the sandwich fillers Isabella plans to serve by day.

The tasting menu: At night,Â G will offer a four-course tasting menu for $40, includingÂ a pre-set menu of antipasti, pasta, choice of meat or fish and dessert.Â The menu will be more traditional Italian than Isabella’s Italian-inspired restaurant, Graffiato.

Both restaurants are in the early stages of construction and there is no set month for opening as of yet.
